BOLTZMANN ENERGY-BASED IMAGE ANALYSIS DEMONSTRATES THAT EXTRACELLULAR DOMAIN SIZE DIFFERENCES EXPLAIN PROTEIN SEGREGATION AT IMMUNE SYNAPSES.

Boltzmann energy-based image analysis demonstrates that extracellular domain size differences explain protein segregation at immune synapses.

Immune synapses formed by T and NK cells both show segregation of the integrin ICAM1 from other proteins such as CD2 (T cell) or KIR (NK cell).However, the mechanism by which these proteins segregate remains unclear; one key hypothesis is a redistribution based on protein size.Simulations of this mechanism qualitatively reproduce observed segregati

Method of Reaching Consensus on Probability of Food Safety Based on the Integration of Finite Credible Data on Block Chain

The use of new technologies to empower the social co-governance of food safety is a consensus in the theoretical and practical fields of food safety governance modernization.Based on the innovative features of the block chain such as non-tampering, consensus mechanism, and a smart contract, this paper proposes a new method to facilitate the achieve

The interplay between plasticity and evolution in response to human-induced environmental change [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Some populations will cope with human-induced environmental change, and others will undergo extirpation; understanding the mechanisms that underlie these responses is key to forecasting responses to environmental change.In cases where organisms cannot disperse to track suitable habitats, plastic and evolved responses to environmental change will de
